There were five Asian students enrolled in Crockett County schools in the 2022-23 school year, the same number as in the previous year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Data showed that Crockett County welcomed 706 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised 0.7% of the student body to be the third most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the three schools in Crockett County, only Ozona Elementary School and Ozona High School enrolled any Asian students, welcoming two students each in the 2022-23 school year.

Education in Texas is often a hot button issue, especially as test scores lag behind other states.

“The problems commonly cited are flaws in the school financing system, relatively low teacher salary, poor test performance by students…dropouts from traditional schools in favor of charter schools…gun violence, and mental health issues," claimed the Texas Almanac.
